I've found a few threads on prolonging the life of Star San which have been very helpful. To re-iterate for anyone who hasn't found this yet, Star San is a viable sanitizer as long as the PH is below 3.5. Invest in a PH meter! The money alone you will save on Star San will pay for it 10 times over.
Now, on to my question. I've read that Star San can degrade vinyl if left to soak, but are there any negatives to storing glass? What I'd like to do is get a big tub of Star San and let a batch of bottles sit in there until I'm ready to use. I'm bottling a batch right now and getting frustrated that I have to re-clean bottles because they got dusty. I'm wondering if I can save some headache and just store them in a sealed container of Star San after I clean them so they are ready to go on bottling day?
Thanks in advance.
